Shoal Cave  DESCRIPTION -Shoal Cave is a marine-like series of cavers, located just off of the northern coast of Mossdeep City. During high tide, the upper levels of the Cave can be accessed, which normally aren't reachable during low tide. Coincidentally - during low tide -, one may be so bold as to make their way down to the lower levels(which were prev. inaccessible during high tide, due to the waters that periodcally flood the Cave). The lower levels of Shoal Cave are unique, in the fact that they are mostly made up of ice. Wild Ice-type pokemon can be found here, as well as the usual pokemon found in cavern-like areas. LOCATION -Shoal Cave is located off the northern coast of Mossdeep City, in northeastern Hoenn. PEOPLE -A few Black Belts can be found in the Cave's lower levels, using the harsh environment to better their skills. There's also a quaint old man on the Cave's ground-level, who can offer his talents to make a Shell Bell out of the Shoal Salts and Shoal Shells found throughout the Cave. RESOURCES/EVENTS/PLACES OF INTEREST -As mentioned above, Shoal Cave is the only known place where one can find the components necessary to make a Shell Bell - Shoal Salt and Shoal Shell. And old man who supposedly resides in the Cave will be happy to male a Shell Bell for you, if you bring him what he needs to do so. MYTH/LORE - During low tide, the lower levels of Shoal Cave can be accessed. It is said that the lower levels are made entirely of ice, some even requiring one to slide around on said ice, in order to navigate. No one's sure why exactly the lower levels are this way, as they've been in this state for hundreds of years...

Shiori Ralston & Kai Benihara
 The closer they got to their destination, the colder it got. The swirling winds of snow and ice made it difficult to fly the plane straight. Turbulance was their biggest obstacle and almost everyone had to hold on to something to steady themselves... it seemed a few people were beginning to get motion sickness! Shiori looked out the window, wiping it of frost that had managed to collect on the inside to see that.... well... there wasn't much 'seeing' that could be done. The blizzard was too thick, even for someone like Shiori to be able to see through. And even she was beginning to feel cold.... so she couldn't imagine how everyone else must be feeling, considering how used to cold and ice she was. She looked around, seeing that almost everyone was turning all sorts of shades. Blues, purples, pinks, etc. It may not be too bad for her... but the others were gonna catch hypothermia, at this rate! But Kai was ahead of her. After-all, he much preferred the heat over the cold any day. Corvair was soon released, almost instantly heating the place up with his sheer presence. I mean, who would be cold with a Charizard nearby? Hardly anyone. He paraded up and down the aisle, spreading his warmth evenly throughout the plane. Ice had begun to freeze on to the wings, but that soon melted as well. A slipstream of warm air surrounded the plane, making flying a bit smoother. It was a wonder Kai hadn't pulled him out sooner! He flipped a few switches, now feeling the need to turn on the AC for those who weren't used to the heat.... a walking furnace with a bit of AC would make the plane a nice comfortable temperature... it was certainly preferred over the fridgid cold from before! Outside of the plane, Titania (Salamence), Constantine (Dragonite), Demitrius (Hydreigon), and company were still fighting off the enemy planes, as well as the cold! Being dragons, cold was not their best friend. It was a good thing that Demitrius was out there, though. His Fire Blast helped keep them warm as they fought off the enemy in the raging blizzard.

 o./o Reno Moradoo./o -Mahogany Town gym leader--Electric-type specialist- It was probably a good thing that Reno had gone to Mt. Silver. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been prepared for th--...wait. He's not wearin' his long-sleeved black shirt? "Nope." Instead, the redhead had on one of the thicker jackets that Vincent had found upon exploring the plane a bit.
'Raichu.' He was a relatively small pokemon, so he could get away with it.
And Surge? 'Lectivire^^' He honestly wasn't bothered by the dropping temperatures; having thick yellow fur did that.
"If your Electivire's not careful, Reno--" Ally, being a bit smaller in size than the ginger, was practically swallowed by the jacket that she wore(again, c/o Vincent. 'Ra~aichu^^' The orange rodent seemed to like her, for some reason.). "--I'm gonna start firin' on him next."
"Surge, stop braggin' about your thick fur." 'Lectivire~.' Reno shook his head, chuckling to himself, as the Thunderbolt Pokemon pouted for a few moments.
~~~
Meanwhile, everyone's 'favorite' bad guy grunts, Team Horizon, were being sent backwards from the entrance of Shoal Cave by powerful blasts of ice. This blizzard that Team 2's AC-130 was fighting kicked up a bit at this point, as - through the howling winds and chunks of ice flying about - a pair of almost hungry-looking yellow eyes seemed to come to life with a dull glow, from deep within the Cave. The temperatures in the Cave were quickly approaching zero, the rounds from Horizon's weapons actually having steam trails to them now.
"Hang on, everyone!" Reno shouted into the intercom for the AC-130. "Things're gonna get bumpy now!"

 ＳＹＬＡＲ • ＭＡＴＴＨＩＡＳ • ＷＡＲＤⓅⓞⓚⓔⓜⓞⓝ • Ⓗⓤⓝⓣⓔⓡ The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but instead a second enemy, who must also fall ...
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════  During his days as a soldier of fortune, the elder Ward brother had trained in climates similar to this in terms of sheer temperature. While he couldn't do much about how his skin reacted to the cold, he was largely unaffected by the intensity of it. Standing stoically in the AC-130, near the cockpit so he could peer outside, he had his sheathed blade pressed firmly down on the floor to keep his footing firm. He had remained silent during their trip, knowing he could provide no aid against any Horizon vessels that may have shown up. As such, he had written that lot off since boarding the ship. For Sylar, this wasn't about some radical group of terrorists anymore. Hoenn was known for many things, and he'd seen most of them during his tours here in years previous. Nothing he had ever seen compared to the blizzard that was being conjured into being before them. This is it. This is why I have come.
Pulling three pokeballs from his hip and rotating them in the palm of his hand, he turned to look over his shoulder at the others in the plane. Were these people really prepared for a life-or-death struggle against the Boundary Pokemon? Perhaps a couple of them were...but in the eyes of several, he saw a tentativeness that he knew would not be shown mercy in the face of one of the Tao Trio. Meanwhile, in his mind, he could hear the theme music that used to herald a successful hunt when he was in his prime. Turning back to look outside the aircraft, he called to Reno...
"Get this bird open and let me out! I'll lead this charge!"
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
... for in the end, the thrill of the kill is mine ... and mine alone.

"You see this sword?"
♚ ♛ ♜
┏━━━━━━━━━┓ Unlike a certain unbearably smug Mahogany Gym Leader, Calvin didn't have the benefit of a thick jacket to shield him from the cold, which was starting to pervade the entirety of the plane, and every breath he took was producing more and more steam. Instead, Winifred had taken it upon herself to keep her trainer warm, keeping him hugged tightly to her warm stomach, also keeping him stable as the plane was rocked by turbulence. Templar was keeping vigil by Allison's feet, even though he would likely be less than useless unless their enemies attacked the plane by somehow boarding it in thin air. Seeing all the others wrapped up in piloting and fighting off the Horizon air force, Calvin chanced a look outside, and was promptly struck dumb by the sight of Kyurem, icy body glinting in the snowstorm like a lost diamond. A lost diamond currently rearing up as if manipulated, a marionette on the strings of one of these damnable Horizon admins. The mighty dragon let out an unearthly screech, the feedback practically breaking the radios onboard, but that wasn't even a warm-up - it was a warning. "It's turning south . . ." Towards the Space Center. The Tao dragon promptly began to glow, a few moments passing, before the sounds of comets being summoned thundered around their ears - it was only Reno's piloting that kept them from going down in flames, something that some Horizon pilots didn't have the advantage of. Several MiGs were smashed into pieces in mid-air, but even this wasn't Horizon's intent.
No, that became obvious when the largest comet of them all came thundering towards the Space Center.
"No . . . no!" Calvin could only watch in horror as the comet smashed into the Space Center, which promptly blossomed into an almighty mushroom cloud of flame as the rocket fuel exploded; even though it was easily two miles away, the plane was knocked to the side, and it was only Winnie's steadying hand (shaking) that kept Calvin from falling. Massive shards of metal began falling like rain, and all the Castle Brain could think about was how many people had been there. How many innocents? He pressed a hand to the glass.
"I'm sorry . . . I'm so sorry."
Given the way Kyurem was now turning its gaze the AC-130's way, it clearly wasn't sorry. ┗━━━━━━━━━┛

 emotion_bigheart ~AMELIA BOLLINGER~ emotion_bigheart "We did not... come this far..."Despite her lack of winter-wear, Amelia was kept fairly warm during the trip. If not by Gouken (her Blaziken) standing next to her the whole time, then by Kai's Charizard marching up and down the plane. It was a fairly comfortable ride, until the Horizon goons showed up in their own planes. To make matters worse, Kyurem had been awakened, and had completely decimated the nearby Space Center. The AC-130 was rocked by the shockwave, but Amelia was kept from rolling around with the help of Gouken holding on to her. She glanced out the window, taking in the terrifying sight of the wreckage that the Boundary Pokemon had caused, her heart sinking in fear. However, her fear slowly, but surely, evolved into something else entirely. Soon, her eyes were filled with rage. She had taken many trips to the Space Center, studying what she could every time she went. She had met some good people that worked there. Some of her friends may have even been there. Now, it was nothing more than a smoldering crater. And it was all Team Horizon's fault. Amelia wasn't going to stand for it. Not any more.
The ace trainer freed herself from her Blaziken's grip, then marched over to the hatch near the back of the plane. An anger-filled expression was left on her face, as she pressed the button to open the hatch, the plane filling with bitterly cold air. She then pulled another Pokeball from her pocket, releasing her Xatu, Natsume. Amelia turned to her avian companions, crossing her arms under her chest. "Gouken! Natsume! Give 'em hell!" she shouted. Never before was she this serious. It almost frightened Locke, who was watching from where his trainer was sitting just a few moments ago, and he gulped when Amelia issued her order. Gouken, who was itching for another go at these punks, strapped on a pair of aviator goggles and cracked his knuckles. He knew exactly what he had to do. Natsume nodded in compliance, having read her trainer's mind to know just what she was talking about. Both of the bird Pokemon then stepped towards the edge, diving out into the blizzard that threatened to swallow the heroes, not an ounce of fear in their hearts. As they jumped, they heard one last command from their trainer. "Don't leave a single man alive!" It was a suicide mission to some, but these two knew exactly what to do. As the Blaziken fell, an enemy jet was quickly approaching from underneath. Gouken's eyes and body starting glowing, and he suddenly shot like a rocket downward, piercing the body of the plane and appearing on the other side. The plane then exploded in a shower of fire and metal, and Gouken continued falling towards the earth. However, Natsume teleported and caught him, taking him back upwards as quickly as she could. This was indeed a good strategy for them. Their small size compared to the team's Dragon-types made them less of a targe, but no less dangerous than their scaled companions. Amelia watched from the open hatch, ignoring the pain from the blistering cold that swept inside. She was as focused as the Pokemon she sent into battle. More focused and determined than ever before. "These assholes want a battle? Well, they got it!" "...Just to die here!"

 ~^~ Ally Mirrera ~^~ -Frontier Brain, Battle Arcade- "...Amelia?" Since the rear hatch of the plane was still open(presumably), Ally chucked an Ultra Ball out into the chilly air - Anastacia, sensing what was going to happen next, swooped in to catch was released from the Ball with a 'GyooGyoo~'. "You'n your Blaziken might actually be onto somethin'." What was released from the Ultra Ball that Ally threw?
'Infernape~!!' Yep, it was Crow. The flame atop his head burning brightly, he raised his navy-fingered fists into the air.
"Crow!" Ally shouted over the roar of the wind. "Warm things up a bit, will ya? Anastacia, you catch 'im!" Nodding, the two pokemon did as instructed by their raven-haired master. It played out a little bit like this:
Anastacia - using the impressive speed that Salamence were known for - would zero in on one of the enemy planes, while Crow - who was on her back - allowed his entire body to be cloaked in bright-red flames. Then, using his own acrobatic skills to their finest(no one could ever accuse Infernape, as a species, of not being agile), Crow would deliver a super-charged Flare Blitz into one of the enemy planes, using the gained momentum he had to steer one fiery plane into another. Ultimately, this technique would destroy two enemy planes at the same time. Once Crow's maneuver was completed, Anastacia would swoop in to catch the Infernape on her back(Dragon-types easily resisted Fire-type moves, so that meant that Anastacia was unlikely to be affected by any lingering flames from Crow's attack). Once the monkey had caught his breath, they repeated the action again(and again).
Reno - naturally - saw this unfold from the front windows of the plane(by now, Crow and Anastacia had worked their way forward). "...Okay." He blinked. "I've gotta get me one'a those mo--" He was cut off as another ear-piercing shriek came from Kyurem, followed by the destruction of the Space Center. "%$#@$#!" His (visible)knuckles turned white as he gripped the controls of the AC-130, doing his best to keep the place steady as the resulting wave from Kyurem's attack rocked the plane.
Not long after the plane had righted itself - meaning, it was no longer rocking back-and-forth -, the craft's two resident Electric-types(Vincent and Surge) could pick up the faintest hint of an almost-overwhemling surge of electricity. 'Lectivire?' 'RaichuRai.' The orange Mouse Pokemon - who was perched on Ally's shoulder -, pointed to the raven-haired Brain's choker, the yellow gem of which was glowing.
That was roughly two seconds before a deep, guttural roar - which easily rivaled Kyurem's shriek, and possibly exceeded it - made itself known to the ears of those aboard the AC-130. If anyone was paying attention to the windows, they would see an almost-blinding flash of yellow make a beeline for Kyurem, firing off sphere after sphere of radiant blue energy(Aura Sphere). Every time one of the Aura Spheres hit the Boundary Pokemon, it would howl in pain, the blizzard that pervaded Shoal Cave becoming just a tiny bit more problematic each time.
Yep, Raikou had arrived. "..." And then Reno became jealous of Ally.

Ω я α ι к σ υ Ω After a few moments of battering the ice dragon with a barrage of Aura Spheres, the legendary beast known only far and wide as Raikou dropped down onto the ground, standing proudly and holding his head high before Kyurem. Raikou briefly glanced up at the AC-130, knowing that his human was up there. Why she came to this foreign land to combat these other humans was of little concern to him. All he knew was that her life is threatened, and that is something that he would not allow to persist. His gaze then fixed upon the Boundary Pokemon, paying little to no mind at all to the Horizon grunts that swarmed around. The other humans and their Pokemon could deal with them. There was only one enemy that Raikou was focused on at the moment. Raikou's body started to radiate with energy, electricity surging through the air around him and into the ground. He then unleashed an earth-shaking roar, almost as if to challenge Kyurem to come out and face him.
In case anyone in the area didn't already know, they knew now...
The divine beast of thunder and lightning, Raikou, had arrived... and he was ready for battle.

♚ ♛ ♜
┏━━━━━━━━━┓ Calvin couldn't help the grin that rather spread across his face when he saw the way Amelia and Allison were putting their Fighting-types to good use - and it inspired him to take similar action, though if asked, he would easily admit it was rather more foolhardy. Calling Winifred over, he whispered something in the mother bear's ear, something so audacious she literally blinked and looked at the devilish grin spread across her trainer's face, shaking her head but smiling all the same as Calvin released Pawn, the Pidgeot squawking somewhat as the Ursaring settled into position before they set off, not quite at Mach 1 but still at a fairly brisk pace. At the halfway point from Kyurem, Winnie's arm caught flame, and the bear's eyes narrowed, before she stood up and delivered an almighty-punch to the Ice dragon's face, though she concealed the shout of pain and shaking of the wrist that followed, even as they swung around for another pass. The Battle Duke, somewhat shamefaced, turned to Ally with a look of guilty pleasure.

Shiori Ralston & Kai Benihara
As soon as Kyurem made his appearance, the battle seemed to instantly heat up the place. Kai's eyes burned as he watched the dragon. One of the famous Tao Trio. He knew he should be scared... but Kyurem was definitely on his list of Dragon Pokemon he wanted to add to his collection. But he had a job to do.... He was co-pilot, after all... he could just jump the plane and go after the fearsome legend. But he could send his Pokemon after it. "Alright, everyone! Attack formation L!" He commanded. His flying Dragons nodding and immediately getting into position. It was then when the cockpit door opened and Shiori popped her head in. "I'm borrowing Constantine. Thanks!" "Wait! You can't just take my Pokemon like that! Constantine only listens to me!" Kai spun around to look her in her eyes. Those golden-hued eyes were burning with a similar intensity and determination as his own. "OK! Thanks for the warning~!" And before Kai had an opportunity to object, she was gone. She ran over to the open door. "Constantine!" She shouted, leaping from the plane.
The shiny Dragonite "Byarrooh~!"ed and broke formation, catching her mid-air, tossing her up and catching her on his back.
"Alright, hun." She said, pointing to the icy beast. "I've waited all my life to meet him... and now that he's here... we're not just gonna let him get away, now are we?"
Constantine shook his head.
"I knew you'd agree!" She patted him on the top of his head. "Ok, let's see, you don't have any dragon-type moves, do you? That's gonna make things a bit tougher.... but we can make it work.... Um... let's try using a controlled Hurricane... to get most of the blizzard away from the plane... send it in Kyurems direction."
"Byarroo-roo!!" He kicked his legs happily and flapped his comically-small wings, stirring up winds that rivaled those sent from the beast below. the snow and ice gathered up in a swirling cyclone and went crashing into the dragon. She knew it wouldn't do much, but if they could keep it up, it would mean smoother sailing for the rest of the group.
Kai, back in the c**k-pit, couldn't believe what he was seeing. Not only was Constantine doing what she said, but he didn't even object! Not even a little! Was Shiori really that strong? Constantine obviously saw something special in her.... but Kai was still in disbelief.
Sure, he was a friendly, lovable guy.... but this was definitely new.
